Radiance Vent-Free Gas Heater

Assembly Procedures

Read these instructions thoroughly before starting the assembly. Follow procedures in the order given. Inspect the stove for damage before starting the assembly. Do not install this stove if any damage is evident. Contact your dealer immediately.

The Radiance is shipped on its back, mounted to a wooden pallet. It is fully assembled, although packing materials must be removed from the firebox and the Log Set installed. Connection to the gas supply must be performed only by a qualified gas technician who should also verify that adequate ventilation is available to support proper burner function.

Installation of optional accessories, such as the Fan, Glass/Catalyst, or thermostat, is most easily accom- plished before the gas supply connection is made.
